10 QUOTES WITH «CHARISMA»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word charisma.
1
Dale Archer
Beauty is an asset, just like physical prowess, charisma, brains or emotional intelligence. The key with any gift is in the way that you use it. It doesn't define you as a person. Rather, it's an asset to be used judiciously and with an understanding of how it is just a small part of who you are.
2
Peter Berg
